Three days later, the original group of twenty people had turned into a hundred.
Zhang Mao was rather generous, sending out so many soldiers to protect them.
This time, however, Lu Qing did not ride on a large carriage, but on a horse instead.
Dressed in gray male clothing, her hair tied up high, she wore a bun like Xue Yan's. Using that white jade hairpin she bought a few days ago, she was a completely handsome young man. Furthermore, her name was no longer Lu Qing, but Han Bai.
Han Shuo pursed his lips, feeling very sad that he couldn't call her mother in the future. It was only when Lu Qing brought him in front of him and sat down that he beamed with joy.
Xue Yan and Lu Qing rode together.
"You really decided to play the part of a man?"
Her speed wasn't too fast. Xue Yan and Lu Qingzhu were walking at the back of the group, neither too fast nor too slow.
"It's safer this way."
Lu Qing lowered his voice and tried to sound as deep as possible. He touched his throat. The front was flat and the back was flat, but having no Adam's apple was a big problem. Luckily, the cold weather could cover the neck.
"Did you hear that my brother doesn't like women and wants to use another method to attract his attention?"
Lu Qing really wanted to roll her eyes. She didn't have any expectations for that Jade Gate Lieutenant at all. She had even made preparations to be his wife, so how could she possibly attract his attention? When she's a little transparent, just pack her up.
"My mother … The two brothers only want to find peace and stability. "
Xue Yan stared at Lu Qing in disbelief for a while.
"Actually, my brother is pretty good. Back then, at the east side of the river, there were countless noble women who wanted to marry him. Even after seven years, his elegance was not reduced in the slightest."
"You almost praised that brother of yours to the heavens. What a pity, you're not even close to being a woman, it's useless even if you say such things." Lu Qing curled his lips.
"Heh, you'll know when the time comes." Xue Yan grinned and smiled.
"To be honest, aren't you two …" Lu Qing's eyes suddenly shot out a light of gossip. He had a feeling that the reason the Jade Gate's Lieutenant didn't have a woman close to him was because this guy had such a beautiful male brother that thought of him everywhere. What did he even need a woman for!?
Xue Yan was a little scared by Lu Qing's gaze, but he immediately understood what Lu Qing meant. His phoenix-like eyes narrowed.
"It's not what you think."
"I don't think about anything." Lu Qing was already on the verge of bursting into laughter.
"You thought about it."
"Alright, I've thought about it. What do you want?" With bright eyes and white teeth, Lu Qing smiled brilliantly.
Xue Yan's phoenix eyes narrowed, and Lu Qing suddenly had a bad feeling. Seeing Xue Yan's hand coming over, Lu Qing dodged, avoiding Xue Yan's grasp and rapidly galloped away on his horse.
Xue Yan followed closely behind, running from the end of the team all the way to the front.
The team that Zhang Mao sent out didn't know Lu Qing's background, so they didn't think too much about it. On the other hand, the widows and Zhang Cheng and Yang Li stared at the cloud of dust in contemplation.
"There's something wrong with the marquis for several days now." Zhang Cheng seemed to be mumbling to himself as he held a stalk of withered grass in his mouth.
"Right, I often stare at Lu Qing in a daze." Liu San'er also stared at the cloud of dust.
"You old fellows are poking my heart. Even a fool can see that. The marquis is already thinking about Qing Qing. You can all act dumb and wait for me to say it."
The injuries on Yang Qiang's eyes had already healed. He looked like a delicate and pretty teenager, but at this moment, his face was full of grief.
"Ai, boy, the marquis will not get involved with little Qing Qing. After reaching Jade Gate Pass, he will have to return to the Xue Clan to get married. He has already won the title of champion and is being urged by his family." Zhang Cheng patted Yang Li's shoulder.
"I'm confused now. Why is Qing Qing pretending to be a man? Didn't the marquis want to marry her to Lieutenant Yu?"
"You've become stupid, hasn't Lieutenant Yu never approached a woman?"
After saying that, Liu San'er looked at those people as if they were idiots. Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and gave them a thumbs up.
Little Qing Qing's technique was very powerful!
